What people say, in short
Visitors recommend the Tegallalang rice terraces near Ubud, and a couple suggest walking through the paddies on foot. One visitor found it nearly empty at 7 to 8am, with mist over the fields. Caveats: one visitor calls it a tourist trap but still worth going to, another says it is a long way and less impressive than the terraces near Sidemen, and one suggests quieter terraces farther from the south.
